Hi Lukasz,
thanks for the update.
I worked on the webconsole this morning. I will start some commits, and
propose some "skin" and "branding" support (as we have for Karaf shell
console).
Regards
JB

Hey,
As discussed earlier in '[PROPOSAL] Promote Cave and WebConsole as Karaf
sub-projects' topic and on IRC - I've decreased version of webconsole to
0.3.0-SNAPSHOT (from 1.0.0). Please be aware about this. You will need to
re-install development versions on your local machines.
Best regards,
Lukasz
Nope, typically I startup the env. using pax-exam and running the web-based
tests then using htmlunit.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Yeah,
Integration tests will be very useful for feature installation verification
(something we don't verify even in karaf core).
Anyway, will we be able to test webconsole with wicket-tester which runs in
pax-exam managed container?
Best regards,
Lukasz
Great work Lukasz. I'll contribute some integration tests the next days.
This should increase the coverage by far and also show if something
fundamental goes wrong suddenly.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi,
I worked a bit on unit tests and now we have few in core. They covers
base
elements - including BasePage, SecuredPage, authentication and
authorization. Also I've updated manual (which is still small) - now we
have
small set of documentation about extensions, security and branding.
Best regards,
Lukasz
Hey Lukas,
Wow, the feature set growed really fast :-). Great work guys!
Basically I think we've enough to start shouting around. Still I think
there
are two things missing beforehand:
a) We really need to introduce at least a little set of unit and
integration
tests. People are in general more afraid to edit/extend not-tested code
than
well tested code
b) I think we need at least a little set of infrastructure and feature
documentation. That would give ppl the possibility to get a good
introduction and IMHO also a little bit motivation to continue it.
@(a) I'm writing right now at a test framework to get up karaf as the
base
framework in exam. The code is currently located [1]. ASAP it is stable
I'll
push it into the karaf sandbox. We can base the webconsole integration
tests
on that framework.
WDYT?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hey guys,
Since we have bunch of features in current prototype I would like to
start
talking about roadmap and other communities involvement.
What we currently have:
- Security layer integrated with JAAS, also with support for roles
(based
on Ioannis jaas-blog example).
Every subpage can have different set of principals allowed to
watch
it - for example we can introduce karaf-manager and developer roles
and
so
on.
- Support for basic OSGi operations
Start, stop, refresh and uninstall operations on bundles
- Extensible bundles view which allows to add new columns
As an example you can check blueprint module
- Support for basic karaf operations
Viewing, installing features, listing repositories and adding new
ones
- Extensible dashboard with widgets possible to be added dynamically
by
webconsole modules
- Example ServiceMix extension which lists endpoints, exchanges and
exchange details
- Support for translations throught wicket i18n mechanism
- Support for branding based on OSGi BrandProvider services, not only
on
fragment resource overrides.
Felix WebConsole contains much more features eg. viewing the logs,
editing
the configurations (it's broken currently in our case) managing Karaf
instances and so on. I started thinking about announcing our work to
these
user communities who may be interested in extensions. With them we can
discuss scope of webconsole (and their extensions). I think we are
close
to
stabilize core APIs and start working on first version which should be
released before end of this year.
Communities which may be involved:
- servicemix (especially in context of smx5)
- camel
- felix
- sling
- geronimo (since it is OSGi based)
- activemq?
- cxf?
WDYT, are we ready to ask them for help and cooperation?
Best regards,
Lukasz
